Summary
This text is about how different cultural communities in South India such as a tribal Adivasi community, the state of Tamil Nadu and a religious cult of the deity Sanesvara imagine their identity in terms of what a good life really is, and how they develop and perform these concepts in public spaces such as rituals and political performances. It also shows how these ideas are both constituted through practical reason and politically contested.
